    It's so incredible to see you and still a sense of appreciation in your child for other living creatures. Not to mention very good skills when working with birds! It's nice to see this in our day and age

    Had a Sun Conure (Chili) when I was younger. Loved, loved that bird. Lost him unexpected and broke my heart. Almost 15 years later (my husband never got rid of the cage) we decided our lives could handle another bird. This time we got a Turquoise Green Cheek Conure (Jewel). We love her and are enjoying the love she has. ❤ Thank you for all the information you give. Continue what you do!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE to the BirdTricks crew! ❤ Your vids helped our family make the right choice for our first (and only) bird. A local store tried to hard sell us a Sun Conure. . . without telling us how loud they are. Thx to watching as many of your videos as we could, we decided on a GCC instead, found a local rescue, and adopted Kola a month ago. He’s a perfect fit for our family!
    Your videos continue to guide us. He’s an anxious, not-very-adventurous little dude. So we’re learning how to build his comfort level and confidence with new people, places & things. And your Tiny Toys are his favourites (he’s not a big player, but he’s learning!)
    My background is with horses - I knew nothing previously about working with birds. Your principles & philosophy of how your work with your birds, as prey animals, are so closely aligned with how I’ve learned to work with horses. It’s comfortingly familiar & has empowered us with belief that we can confidently help Kola have a long, healthy, fully enriched life.
    THANK YOU!

    We have a a Yellow-sided Green Cheek named Sushi. We rescued her from a very bad situation when she was just 4 weeks old. I had to hand feed her until she started showing interest in the veggie chop. She is snuggle bug and loves the occasional fruit treat (she goes crazy for a blueberry). I love how much personality GC have!

    We named him Pono, which is in Hawaiian & means "do what's right", because when we saw him in the pet store several times--our 💔!
    We had to bring him home! He is now a member of our family, not just a "pet". 🌈🌴🦜💜

    I have a 5 month old Turquoise Green Cheek and I absolutely love her. Her name is Divyae (pronounced Divia which means "Magic" in Hindi) She's quiet enough to be in an apartment. Loves to swing upside down like a bat, lays on her back and throws balls around. She knows how to flip over my finger, play fetch, basket ball, magnet, spin, wave, go upside down and go on her back in my palm. She also snuggles under my chin and will stay there as long as I let her.

    We named our Sun Conure “Savage” for her ability to casually blow out your eardrums. Savage’s temperament is definitely more consistent than our green cheeks. Our GC names are West, Reggae, Palette, Clover, Salem and Cilantro.

  • @SweetChi88
    @SweetChi88 Год назад +8

    I find the color of the sun conure is gorgeous, but I fell for a green cheek and her name is Sherbet nicknamed Sherbie. I do agree she isn’t as loud as our cockatiel was. But she is super sweet and a cuddle baby ❤

  • @leafafalian7964
    @leafafalian7964 Год назад +9

    I definitely have experience with green cheeks being harder to read than some other birds I've seen. My GC, Link, sometimes has very obvious body language, especially when he's in his cage, and other times he attacks the hand he's perched on for no apparent reason that I've been able to notice. He also only enjoys safflower seeds as treats, which I thought was interesting!

    I fostered two adorable GCCs who went to their forever home in August. Their names were Tone, who was turquoise, and Ekko, who was pineapple. They were such well-behaved birds who loved to just chill on my shoulders and get scratches and treats. They went to a wonderful family and I couldn't be happier.

    My wife was the bird person in our relationship we have had several cockatiels at a time. We currently have 3 and we love them, One of our friends asked us to watch their Green Cheek Conure when they went on vacation, and I think they hadn't realized how much time and attention they need. Several months later we had gotten really attached to the little guy his name is Kiwi. Now I am forever changed and think im officially in love with these animals Kiwi had alot of stress and anxiety before us and his feathers show it. He had been passed from family to family so we spend alot of time with him and your videos are helping me train him (and myself) Thank you for all that you do to educate people on these magical creatures.

    Our pineapple greencheek Jasper just joined our flock of budgies Ginger and Juniper, my partner loves the nature theme and verbal sound of greeting the fluffs. Jasper being a baby really helped her integrate with the flock; Gin pretends shes just a giant budgie and Jun wishes she didn't try to cuddle, haha.

    We have a male sun conure named Rufus. He is super playful and absolutely the best bird ever. He's so spoiled and loves attention, but being he's our only pet, we thoroughly enjoy him. We decided on a sun conure after hearing that green cheeks are more prone to choosing favorites than sun conures, although I'm not sure if that's true. Rufus seems to like everyone in our family, so I am still very happy with our choice of getting a sun conure.

  • @TheCuriousInferno
    @TheCuriousInferno Год назад +5

    Love the video and couldn’t agree more on the noise level! I love conures so much but I’m partial to the quieter green cheeks. As a matter of fact, I’ve got an adopted turquoise GCC named Samba bc she likes to dance when she’s not being a cuddle monster 😆

  • @shastawolfamute2203
    @shastawolfamute2203 Год назад +3

    I have a yellow-sided green cheek named Nugget. She's really chill compared to olivia, at least while on me, from what I see. Nugget tends to kinda sit and cuddle or play with hair, while I notice Olivia is kinda tapping your shoulder and playing around in place, which Nugget does do, but mainly when shes on a cage or on a flat surface. I wish I can show you a picture, so Capri can see a conure with a black beak and pinkish feet

    @jenanimazed5932 Год назад +3

    Wow, I never realized how much larger sun conures were than green cheeks. I thought they were both the same size. And it’s super interesting to hear you say that green cheeks are harder to read! Would love a video about green cheek body language before you return Olivia, if possible.
    I have a yellow sided green cheek named James 😊
    Don’t underestimate them though! Suns might be overall louder, but green cheeks can still definitely deafen you if they want!

    This was awesome! I have 6 budgies and they all happily eat the Birdtricks seasonal and they love their pellets, Smokey, Blue Byrd, Tattoo, (Chicken) Nugget, Rainbow and Lotus. Tattoo had a lot of major behavioral issues we worked very hard to get thru, I’m pretty sure she believes she is not an actual budgie but a conure, she really has come a long ways 💕 I’m thrilled that I’m a proud mom of our newest addition a high red pineapple gcc and I’m absolutely obsessed with my sweet sassy little Hurdy Gurdy Birdie! 💕😻🌹💕❤️🕊I feel so lucky to have her and she loves kisses and scritches and she’s already responding to her target training! I’m keeping in touch with her breeder. It was hard to choose but ultimately she chose me… I asked all the birds “would you like to be my Hurdy Gurdy Birdie?” One bird I almost chose, but when I asked him he had a reaction and it was so funny bc it was like he really responded to the question with a “Hell no, you look cool but I ain’t no Hurdy Gurdy” lol Then, she stepped forward to check me out as if to say “I’m interested in this Hurdy Gurdy Birdie that you speak of” and there it was ❤️🌹❤️ Still got work to do on her diet but I did make what feels a breakthrough on that today. Wishing everyone happy birding’s

    Just want to say that your videos are what inspired me to be a bird parent. I've been subscribed to your channel for at least 2 years now and since then I have adopted a Sun (Pita) and a Maroon Bellied green cheek (Ruby). Al the differences you mentioned are spot on. I may also add that our green cheek (female) is a little more moody and nippy. Is that normal? Pita (male) on the other hand, is a love bug.

    Love this! Conure species compared to each other is very interesting. I've thought about bringing home a green cheek, but my sun conure is enough sass for me! She's wonderful. Embarrassingly enough, her name is Capri. And yes... because of your videos. In fact, I believe your Capri has seen my Capri say her name. 😀Love you guys!

    I have a pineapple green cheek named Safflower Jack. (I call him Saffie Jack.) He is 6 months old this month. He is a very sweet bird and likes to preen my smaller birds (Budgie and Linnie). I always supervise him with the smaller birds and have taught him to be very gentle with them. He is a very "busy" bird -- he needs a lot of foraging toys and a large cage with rope perches and tents to climb on and hide in. He likes to go down inside my shirts but never makes holes in them the way my parrotlet did. He says his name and "Whatcha doin'?" all the time. His voice is softer than either my Budgie's or my Linnie's. Really an ideal companion bird. The sun conures are beautiful but too loud for me.

    Oh, I have three green cheeks! I have two 13-year old Pineapple Green Cheek siblings named Snuggles and Cuddles, and a one-year old Red Factor Yellow Sided Green Cheek Conure named Spark. After a slow introduction, the siblings and Spark get along really well - they're their own flock! I love Sun Conures too and would love one someday, but it is that noise level that's stopped me from getting one. I've worked with them at a local shelter, and their screams when on my shoulder have made my ears ring. Green cheeks also, I guess, show their mood more by body language, at least based on what you were saying. By watching them, I'm able to tell if they're happy, relaxed, excited, scared, or even angry (they vocalize too, but their body language tells all). Tell Capri that Green Cheek Conure beak/foot color depends on their color variation. If they're darker in color (ex. wild, yellow sided, red factor yellow sided, turquoise), they have the darker beak and feet, but if they're lighter in color (ex. cinnamon, pineapple, turquoise pineapple, turquoise cinnamon). The one exception to this would be the American dilutes, which have lighter colors, but a darker beak and feet. Great video! It was fun to watch!

    Green cheeks are in the pyrrhura genus. The breeder I got my first GCC from told me that they’re the quiet conure family. They’re much quieter than my cockatiel and suns and Jendays. Harder to read body language was spot on! My current GCC is good at hiding what she’s feeling until she acts on her emotions. My GCCs have also not had the vocabulary other parrots have had in my flock.

    I have never had a conures before, i have had love birds, budgies, canaries... the conures are so different with their personalities they are very intrusive with some things but they are very amusing to watch interact with they are also very smart and enjoy their humans interaction as they talk to them, spend that one on one time with them as they are flying around or just sitting around the home as they land on you or around them.

    I have two green cheeks. I adopted Lola 13 years ago when she was 5 yrs old. She is a standard color mutation, mostly green with maroon belly and tail and black beak. She is pretty quiet for the most part. I adopted Leo from the Humane Society a year and a half ago. They didn't know how old he was, but I think he was very, very young (a year or less). He is a pineapple and extremely vocal! While they both get along with each other for the most part, Lola is pretty darn patient with Leo. He can be a handful for such a young whippersnapper!

    Our sun conure is named Yoshi and our rescued Pineapple Green Cheek is Knottie. Both have similar personalities (cuddly, love attention). Knottie used to bite chunks out of our skin and still will if she’s upset. She also will chase off the other animals. They are afraid of her. Yoshi is still a baby but he doesn’t bite. Even when upset. He screams instead because he knows that will get our attention without resorting to biting. Only other time he screams is going up or down the stairs or flock calling when we aren’t nearby.

The porch also has 3 magnetic screen doors. It's a timber framed porch. All rough wood. Good idea or not and for what kind of birds please?

    My CAG I just adopted a year ago sticks to her play top and only comes off her cage when I bring her down, but I’m allowing her previously clipped flight feathers to grow back and I’m wondering ( as I see blueberry fly away) how you keep up with cleaning g bird poop up when they’re completely free to fly around the house??

    Question, when the sun conure screech like that on your shoulder, do your hearing take permanent damage?

    I have had greencheeks (Mickey Minnie) & a sun conure (Ellie). One difference I've noticed is that the greencheeks will work together to get out of the cage & are very inquisitive. 💕

    i have 12 pyrrhuras (conures) in dutch language. and 2 pyrrhura cruentata. Here too there are differences, the cruentata are larger, stronger and louder. but easier to read their body language and train them.
    Names of the greencheeks
    Dodo, flip, pretty, belle, spotty, goofy, Sissi,Goku, Tiny, sky, bobby and budgie. So 12 greencheeks in different Colors.
    And our cruentata are kyra and rocky.

    Hi I'm looking for some advice. I'm looking to buy a green cheek conure. Should I only buy baby- hand fed conures? There's a great bird store near us that has 2 green cheeks.. They claim that they were both hand fed when they were babies but now there are 9 months old and haven't gotten much human interaction since they were hand fed. They seem real skittish and definitely won't come near my hand. Should I steer clear or take a chance?

    I have both gcc and sun. I feel like suns get a bad rap for noise. Yes they are loud but it’s not a constant noise. My Jujubee only gets loud when excited like when she sees us after coming home. I found my gcc talks alot but can be more noisy for much longer periods of time. I also found my sun will go to many people where my gcc is more a one person bird.

    Our pineapple green cheek prefers nuts over grains, especially Macadamias. Can you put them in the same cage?

  • @debbiiletchworth3920
    @debbiiletchworth3920 Год назад

    I have hypercacusis disability, super sensitive hearing, and I have had a green cheek conure before, but I have always wanted to have a sun conure because of their gorgeous colors. I have to have ear plugs to go everywhere with them, but I am almost willing to overcome the noise by getting gun headphones. Going to be living in a house and going to have all medium free flight bird room, but only one sun conure. The rest will be, one baby ringneck parakeet blue, 2 Quaker parrots, one cockatiel baby or adult bird that's as far as it goes, possibly 2 zebra finches. That's it all flying for 18 hours together in a room.

    Hello fellow flockers!! I have an original GCC named Elwood Moss and I love when he gets 'pissed' especially with toy and perch rotation. He mumbles and mutters and I can't help but laugh. He sounds like Joe Pesci in home alone when he's irritated after all the mayhem he's endured. And as for vocalization. He actually says quite a bit. Wanna step up, go eat your food, can I have kiss, thank you, rock n roll, pretty bird, yea right and a$$hole which he only heard me say once. Now just about every morning that's my wake up call lol. Then of course the mimicking of noises. Love you guys stay safe happy and healthy. I love my pissed off tye dyed chicken!!

    My wife and I just got a green cheek two weeks ago, we named her Kiwi. Of course the pet store sold us the nuts and grains as the food source since that is what they were feeding her. We find it interesting how she will not like one of us one day and then the next we are her best friend and the other isn't, lol.

      Green cheeks are all little napoleons..
      I have yet to meet one that wont latch on like a pitt-bull with zero warning..
      Most conures will give you a warning nibble with pressure before going in for the full chomp..
      I adopted a green cheek who had 5 owners in her first year of life.. She was a real terror and a broken soul from mistreatment and losing all of her owners..
      It took her 2 full years before she realized I was different and she started being handleable..
      10 years later she became a real member of our flock and family and stopped with the bad behaviors altogether..
      She would have a crowd of people taking turns handling her anytime i took her out on the flight harness..
      Sadly I had a raccoon break in through a window and eat her alive in front of my 20 year old sun conure who was her mate for almost a decade..
      I still miss her daily.. she was such a nice bird that i saved from a hard life and slowly earned her trust over many years.. losing her was devastating.

    Winter here is cold, so our young sun conure Cheech lives down my top. Alas, she has destroyed all my zips and chewed holes in most of my t-shirts! I'm on to her now though. I pin a string of wooden beads from my top and that keeps her busy. My motto for parrots, Busy beak, Happy parrot.

    Hey, this is Bob in Connecticut. I bought my. Sun Conure from a private breeder for $500. His name is storm.. he sleeps in empty boxes that I throw up above my cabinets. My green cheek is my best friend. I bought him about 10 years ago at Petco.. his name is Spidey. He sleeps on the top shelf of the medicine cabinet in the bathroom. He is with me most of the time I do not cage any of the birds. He flies over to me every morning on my pillow because he wants to play.. anyway, I love watching your videos. They are totally awesome. How you adore your birds.

    I prefer the colour of sun conures but I love the calmer, quieter personality of the green cheeks. We have an orange wing amazon who is super sweet but nothing like as cuddly as the conures seem. I was actually wondering if a conure would make a good pal for an amazon?
    Love your channel BTW, you've taught us so much as a family. Thank you.

    We have a GCC named Skittles. I LOVE the colors of the SC. Do you make your own toys for them or do you get them from some place specifically? Our GCC is LOUD. Always making noises. Definitely feel the “hormonal” comment. Our GCC is a little scary to hold 🤣
